Product feature
1. Dual-Frequency Variable Frequency Technology – Eliminates Interference
The MEDW-W5A operates at 45Hz and 55Hz test frequencies, completely avoiding 50Hz power frequency interference. Field tests confirm that even when interference voltage on the potential lead reaches 10V and interference current on the current lead reaches 1A, the instrument still delivers stable, accurate readings. This ensures measurement integrity in live 500kV substations where traditional methods fail.
2. High-Precision DSP Processing – Reliable Low-Resistance Measurement
Equipped with a professional-grade high-speed digital signal processor, the MEDW-5A achieves 0.0001Ω resolution with an accuracy of ±(1% reading + 0.002Ω). This high precision is critical for measuring large grounding grids where resistance values often fall below 0.5Ω, preventing misjudgments that could lead to safety hazards.
3. Lightweight Integrated Design – Reduces Onsite Labor
Unlike traditional power-frequency testers that require bulky 30A+ current sources weighing hundreds of kilograms, the MEDW-5A integrates a variable frequency power module weighing just 22kg. The unit delivers a maximum 5A test current, sufficient for all large grounding grid measurements. One technician can easily transport and operate the instrument, cutting testing time and labor costs by over 50%.
4. Fully Touchscreen Interface – Zero Training Required
The large graphical touchscreen LCD displays every step of the measurement process. Operators simply follow the on-screen wiring diagrams and touch the "Start Test" button. No specialized training is required, making field testing efficient even for non-expert personnel.
5. Built-in Data Storage & U Disk Export
The instrument stores up to 100 test records with time stamps via its built-in calendar chip. Data can be exported directly to a U disk as a date-named text file, then viewed or generated into reports using the included PC software. This simplifies documentation and audit trail management.

Q1: What is the difference between variable frequency and power frequency ground resistance testing?
A: Power frequency (50Hz) testing suffers from severe interference in live substations because the test signal and ambient interference share the same frequency. Variable frequency testing at 45Hz/55Hz allows the instrument to digitally filter out 50Hz interference completely. The MEDW-5A accurately measures ground impedance even when interference voltage reaches 10V on the potential lead.
Q2: Can this ground resistance tester measure both impedance and resistance components?
A: Yes. The MEDW-5A provides separate readings for ground impedance (Z), pure resistance (R), and inductive reactance (X). This allows engineers to analyze the grounding system's characteristics more comprehensively.
Q3: What is the minimum order quantity for bulk purchases?
A: We welcome orders of any quantity. For single unit inquiries, we support 1-piece orders. Volume discounts are available for orders of 5 pieces or more. Please contact us for a customized quote.
Q4: How long does shipping take for international orders?
A:In-stock orders are delivered within 7–15 working days. For bulk orders, delivery timelines are contractually defined upon order confirmation. Contact us for a customized shipping schedule.
Q5: Do you provide calibration certificates with each unit?
A: Yes. Every MEDW-W5A unit includes a factory calibration certificate traceable to national metrology standards. We can also arrange third-party accredited calibration upon request.
Q6: Is training required to operate this instrument?
A: No. The touchscreen interface displays step-by-step wiring diagrams and on-screen instructions. Field technicians with basic electrical knowledge can operate it without additional training.
